Excitation-Contraction Coupling and Cardiac Contractile Force

By: Donald Bers

How is the heartbeat generated? What controls the strength of contraction of heart muscle? What are the links between cardiac structure and function? How does our understanding of skeletal and smooth muscle and non-muscle cells influence our thinking about force development in the heart? Are there important species differences in how contraction is regulated in the heart? How do the new molecular data fit together in understanding the heart beat? What goes wrong in ischemia, hypertrophy, and heart failure? This book paints a modern `portrait' of how the heart works and in this picture the author shows a close-up of the structural, biochemical, and physiological links between excitation and contraction. The author takes the reader through a series of important, interrelated topics with great clarity and continuity and also includes many useful illustrations and tables. The book starts by considering the cellular structures involved in excitation-contraction coupling and then described the characteristics of the myofilaments as the end effector of excitation-contraction coupling. A general scheme of calcium regulation is described and the possible sources and sinks of calcium are discussed in simple, but quantitative terms. The cardiac action potential and its many underlying currents are reviewed. Then the characteristics of some key calcium transport systems (calcium channels, sodium/calcium exchange and SR calcium uptake and release) are discussed in detail. This is then built into a more integrated picture of calcium regulation in succeeding chapters by detailed discussions of excitation-calcium coupling mechanisms (in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle), the interplay between calcium regulatory processes, and finally mechanisms of cardiac inotropy, calcium overload, and dysfunction (e.g., ischemia, hypertrophy, and heart failure). Excitation-Contraction Coupling and Cardiac Contractile Force – Second Edition is an invaluable source of information for anyone who is interested in how the heart beat is controlled and especially suited for students of the cardiovascular system at all levels from medical/graduate students through senior investigators in related fields.

The Anatomies of God, the Bible, and Religion

Decoding the Old and New Testaments

By: Donald R. Nuss

No one knows exactly what happened two thousand years ago in the Holy Land. The four Gospel authors proclaimed their versions, and the fathers of the emerging Christian church trumpeted them to be the Gospel Truth. In The Anatomies of God, the Bible, and Religion, author Donald R. Nuss examines evidence that contravenes what has been accepted for centuries. It asks questions that ministers and priests cannot or will not answer, such as: Is the Bible historically accurate, the word of God, or an amalgam of half truths, myths, and fiction? The result of fifty years of research, The Anatomies of God, the Bible, and Religion serves as a Biblical handbook. Insightful commentary explains how each author of the Old Testament influenced the conduct of the ancient Israelis and how some provided source material for New Testament Gospel authors. Nuss explores the Bibles mystique, reveals its beauty, exposes its blemishes, and analyzes, praises, and criticizes its inconsistencies, contradictions, and mendacity. In this thorough examination, Nuss seeks to explain why religion inspires, elevates, and gives encouragement to many, but incites, irritates, and inflames others.

To Do and Die

By: Donald R Nuss

Rachel Grunwald, a beautiful young woman from Laguna Beach, California, is afflicted with a flaw buried deep within her subconscious from an incident that occurred at the age of ten. As an adult, compensating for those lost years means living on the edge and enjoying life to its fullest. But Rachel continues to be driven toward violent and compulsive acts by her childhood trauma. After a drunken liaison with her brother-in-law, Scott Sanderson, that results in a new life, Rachel flees to Italy where she marries the son of a Mafia boss. But the deaths of a gigolo in Venice, her mother-in-law, and a traitorous priest soon follow. Could Rachel possibly be connected with the three suspicious deaths? A battered and disillusioned U.S. Navy veteran, Scott tries to recapture time lost through risky business ventures and a deadly encounter with the mob. He turned from his religious faith during the horrors of war, and his marriage to Rachel's sister Rebecca-a devout Catholic-ended in tragedy. But when Rachel needs Scott's help, he cannot refuse the mother of his son. The former lovers reunite and find comfort in each other's arms once again. But will their union save them, or destroy both of their lives?

Improving Learning through Consulting Pupils

By: Jean Rudduck,Donald McIntyre

Pupil consultation can lead to a transformation of teacher-pupil relationships, to significant improvements in teachers' practices, and to pupils having a new sense of themselves as members of a community of learners. In England, pupil involvement is at the heart of current government education policy and is a key dimension of both citizenship education and personalised learning. Drawing on research carried out as part of the Teaching and Learning Research Programme, Improving Learning through Consulting Pupils discusses the potential of consultation as a strategy for signalling a more partnership-oriented relationship in teaching and learning. It also examines the challenges of introducing and sustaining consultative practices. Topics covered include: the centrality of consultation about teaching and learning in relation to broader school level concerns; teaching approaches that pupils believe help them to learn and those that obstruct their learning; teachers' responses to pupil consultation - what they learn from it, the changes they can make to their practice and the difficulties they can face; the things that can get in the way of pupils trusting in consultation as something that can make a positive difference. While consultation is flourishing in many primary schools, the focus here is on secondary schools where the difficulties of introducing and sustaining consultation are often more daunting but where the benefits of doing so can be substantial. This innovative book will be of interest to all those concerned with improving classroom learning.

Unplayable Lies

The Country Club of Fools

By: Donald Nuss

Marrakech is Southern California's newest premier country club and promises a lifetime of privileged membership for those who have reached the pinnacle of financial and social acceptance. Four golfing friends-Wolfgang Martini, Donald Diedrich, Mark Huntington, and Richard Nelson-decide to join. But they soon discover that the membership also includes con men, lechers, Mafiosi, and at least one murderer. After they become members, all four men suddenly take on roles that threaten their friendship. Martini becomes the leader of the Founding Members who are embroiled in a divisive feud with the Regular members. Nelson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who sarcastically documents Marrakech's hedonism. Diedrich takes on the dual role as the club's Don Juan and proponent for the Juanenos Indian tribe, who claim the club has usurped their land, which they need for casino development. But it's mysterious Mark Huntington who raises suspicions-he's either a government agent or a hit man. When the bodies of members start to pile up, it's anybody's guess who is responsible. Is it a member of the Mafia, someone from the Indian tribe, or one of the friends themselves?

Cheating in College

Why Students Do It and What Educators Can Do about It

By: Donald L. McCabe,Kenneth D. Butterfield,Linda K. Treviño

With academic dishonesty on the rise, this book explains why students cheat, how to foster integrity, and why it matters. Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, and the college years are a critical period for their development of ethical standards. Cheating in College explores how and why students cheat and what policies, practices, and participation may be useful in promoting academic integrity and reducing cheating. The authors investigate trends over time, including internet-based cheating. They consider personal and situational explanations, such as the culture of groups in which dishonesty is more common (such as business majors) and social settings that support cheating (such as fraternities and sororities). They also focus on how faculty and administrators are increasing their efforts to promote academic honesty among students. Orientation and training sessions, information on college and university websites, student handbooks that describe codes of conduct, honor codes, and course syllabi all define cheating and establish the consequences. Based on the authors’ multiyear, multisite surveys, Cheating in College quantifies and analyzes student cheating to demonstrate why academic integrity is important and to describe the cultural efforts that are effective in restoring it.

Asia in the Making of Europe, Volume II

A Century of Wonder. Book 1: The Visual Arts

By: Donald F. Lach

This is the second volume in a series that traces, century by century, the role of Asia in the making of Europe. The rise to world dominance of the Western nations in modern times and the rapid industrial growth of the West, which outpaced the East in technical and military achievements, have led to a historical eclipse of the ancient and brilliant cultures of Asia. Historican Donald F. Lach, in his influential scholarly work, Asia in the Making of Europe, points out that an eclipse is never permanent, that this one was never total, and that there was a period in early modern times when Asia and Europe were close rivals in brilliance and mutual influence.

Critical Condition

How Health Care in America Became Big Business--and Bad Medicine

By: Donald L. Barlett,James B. Steele

Award-winning journalists expose the horrific practices within America’s health care system, profiling patients and doctors and offering startling personal stories to illuminate what’s gone wrong. “Every American ought to read this book.”—The Plain Dealer Tens of millions of people with inadequate or no medical coverage . . . dirty examination and operating rooms in doctors’ offices and hospitals . . . more people killed by mistakes than by many diseases. This may sound like the predicament of a failed state, but this is America’s health care reality today. The United States spends more per capita on health care than any other nation, yet benefits are shrinking and life expectancy here is shorter than in countries that spend significantly less. Meanwhile, HMOs, pharmaceutical companies, and hospital chains reap tremendous profits, as our elected politicians, beholden to these same companies, enact piecemeal measures that lead to needless deaths, refusing to come to grips with a system on the verge of collapse. A superb investigative work that is enormously compelling and addresses the concerns of every American, Critical Condition offers an insightful prescription for getting the system back on the right track.

Constructing Community

Moral Pluralism and Tragic Conflicts

By: J. Donald Moon

In developing a new theory of political and moral community, J. Donald Moon takes questions of cultural pluralism and difference more seriously than do many other liberal thinkers of our era: Moon is willing to confront the problem of how community can be created among those who have very different views about the proper ends of human life. Experiencing such profound disagreement, can we live together in a society under norms we all accept? In recent years, traditional ways of looking at this query have come under attack by post-modernists, feminists, and thinkers concerned with pluralism. Respectfully engaging their critiques, Moon proposes a reformulated liberalism that is intended to overcome the problems they have identified.

Practice and the Human Sciences

The Case for a Judgment-Based Practice of Care

By: Donald E. Polkinghorne

Teachers, nurses, psychotherapists, and other practitioners of care are under pressure to substitute specific, prescribed techniques in place of using their own judgment. Donald E. Polkinghorne assembles the case for the return to judgment-based practice for the professions that engage in direct person-to-person interaction with those they serve. Set in the larger context of the technification of society, Polkinghorne draws from Weber, Heidegger, Ihde, Bourdieu, de Certeau, and other philosophers to trace the advancing power of the technological worldview in Western culture and uses Aristotle, Dewey, and Gadamer to help make his case that we should be doing things very differently.

Plant Growth and Development

A Molecular Approach

By: Donald E. Fosket

Plant Growth and Development: A Molecular Approach presents the field of plant development from both molecular and genetic perspectives. This field has evolved at a rapid rate over the past five years through the increasing exploitation of the remarkable plant Arabidopsis. The small genome, rapid life cycle, and ease of transformation of Arabidopsis, as well as the relatively large number of laboratories that are using this plant for their research, have lead to an exponential increase in information about plant development mechanisms.In Plant Growth and Development: A Molecular Approach Professor Fosket synthesizes this flood of new information in a way that conveys to students the excitement of this still growing field. His textbook is based on notes developed over more than ten years of teaching a course on the molecular analysis of plant growth and development and assumes no special knowledge of plant biology. It is intended for advanced undergraduates in plant development, as well as those in plant molecular biology. Graduate students and researchers who are just beginning to work in the field will also find much valuable information in this book. Each chapter concludes with questions for study and review as well as suggestions for further reading. Illustrated with two-color drawings and graphs throughout, and containing up-to-date and comprehensive coverage, Plant Growth and Development: A Molecular Approach will excite and inform students as it increases their understanding of plant science.* * Presents plant development from a molecular and cellular perspective* Illustrates concepts with two-colour diagrams throughout* Offers key study questions and guides to further reading within each chapter* Gives an up-to-date and thorough treatment of this increasingly important subject area* Derived from the author's many years of teaching plant developmental biology

Alexander the Great and the Logistics of the Macedonian Army

By: Donald W. Engels

The most important work on Alexander the Great to appear in a long time. Neither scholarship nor semi-fictional biography will ever be the same again. . . .Engels at last uses all the archaeological work done in Asia in the past generation and makes it accessible. . . . Careful analyses of terrain, climate, and supply requirements are throughout combined in a masterly fashion to help account for Alexander's strategic decision in the light of the options open to him...The chief merit of this splendid book is perhaps the way in which it brings an ancient army to life, as it really was and moved: the hours it took for simple operations of washing and cooking and feeding animals; the train of noncombatants moving with the army. . . . this is a book that will set the reader thinking.

The Princeton Field Guide to Prehistoric Mammals

By: Donald R. Prothero

The ultimate illustrated guide to the lost world of prehistoric mammals After the mass extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, mammals became the dominant terrestrial life form on our planet. Roaming the earth were spectacular beasts such as saber-toothed cats, giant mastodonts, immense ground sloths, and gigantic giraffe-like rhinoceroses. Here is the ultimate illustrated field guide to the lost world of these weird and wonderful prehistoric creatures. A woolly mammoth probably won't come thundering through your vegetable garden any time soon. But if one did, this would be the book to keep on your windowsill next to the binoculars. It covers all the main groups of fossil mammals, discussing taxonomy and evolutionary history, and providing concise accounts of the better-known genera and species as well as an up-to-date family tree for each group. No other book presents such a wealth of new information about these animals—what they looked like, how they behaved, and how they were interrelated. In addition, this unique guide is stunningly illustrated throughout with full-color reconstructions of these beasts—many never before depicted—along with photographs of amazing fossils from around the world. Provides an up-to-date guidebook to hundreds of extinct species, from saber-toothed cats to giant mammoths Features a wealth of color illustrations, including new reconstructions of many animals never before depicted Demonstrates evolution in action—such as how whales evolved from hoofed mammals and how giraffes evolved from creatures with short necks Explains how mass extinctions and climate change affected mammals, including why some mammals grew so huge

MacCloud's Secret

Stories of Mystery, Adventure, and Love

By: Donald Nuss

Brimming with high stakes adventure, chilling mystery, and passionate romance, this collection of two novellas and eight short stories speaks to the emotions that make life fascinating. In the title story, "MacCloud's Secret," Angus Duncun MacCloud feels that he's taken advantage of a bereaved widow, and asks for her hand in marriage. But when she turns up dead, suspicion falls on MacCloud, and he must explain how someone broke into his home without anyone hearing or seeing anything. MacCloud guards his secret, as the authorities seek to uncover the truth. Other stories in this collection deal with the periphery of war. In "The Commander's Car," a prewar ensign is given a degrading order by the executive officer. But when he gets his revenge, the entire base celebrates. "Leilani" was a lovely Hawaiian girl who couldn't decide what soldier was worth loving, so she loved them all. Mark Cummings can't accept that and forty years later he returns to Hawaii hoping he'll find the woman who betrayed him-the woman he still loves. "A Fish Story" tells the tale of a Cold War fish that produces a special serum, which causes a worldwide sensation and becomes the biggest story since the launch of Sputnik. Can this creature save the world? Six other stories round out this collection of tales sure to ignite your imagination
